Having a local AI might kick start consumer interest in hardware again. I haven't thought about buying a beefy PC in 10 years, but I was wondering how much I would have to spend to run a cutting…

Whats more, every single child here in Australia is learning on a school issued Chrome Book. To my kids, a spread sheet is google sheets and a power point is google slides. (We were joking about it j…

I think discord is one of the services that requires age verification in some countries.

Yes, I was going to write this comment a few hours ago but never got around to it. Working on other peoples Lua can be very painful. Even the fact that people really want to write object oriented code…

Yeah, I think there is a legitimate discussion here about walled gardens, tech, and the role it will play it will play in troubled times. Legal is not always moral, and Apple has shown they will side …

I have it. Its not scientific - just a collection of nice illustrations.

I can imagine an industry where we describe business rules to apply to data in natural language, and the AI simply provides an executable without source at all. The role of the programmer would then b…

In many cases, the code is "data". The code is a set of rules or instructions by which the data must be transformed for business cases. You need to understand both the data, and the transfor…

Sure, if you were asking _me_ where I would save money, defense would be ahead of aid. My point that the US debt is staggering, and it might take more than just skipping an oil change, you might need …

Yeah, but at some point you have to realize you can't afford a car any more and you should sell it. You can get another one when you are on top of the debt. People (and nations) need to live with…

Apple fans were fine with the notch. If I were them would embrace the bezel and make UIs like a book with distinct left and right panes. Even embrace multi tasking and run two regular apps side by sid…

That has always been the case. I've always posted under my real name as a constant reminder.

I've been an App Engine user for 15 years. Last year I needed some help and I had to pay some small amount for support and get an engineer to actually look at my account and tell me how to do som…

But I only type with my index fingers! You've got to type with your shoulders if you want to avoid RSI!

Agreed, and the independent lab should be chosen by the publisher, and be kept secret until results are in.

Yeah, I don't mind the public profiting if public money and or concessions were made to set up the business. And especially for bailouts!

Yeah, but perhaps we could have different flavors. If you like functional style you could have a very functional standard library that doesn't mutate anything, or if you like object oriented stuf…

oh right, good point, I wonder when somebody will just sue NPM for any damage caused. That's really the only way we'll see change I think.

Yes, fewer, larger, trustworthy dependencies with tree shaking is the way to go if you ask me.

Also me. Every 10 years my domains expire, and I can just pay a few hundred bucks again and forget about it, or I can do a bunch of work to move them somewhere and adjust A records and fuck around wit…

Yeah, I always wanted to pink up one of those tiny GDP machines. They would be cool to play with! https://gpdstore.net/product-category/gpd-handheld-gaming-pc... …

Yeah, you second phone sounds like a laptop. I have a boring phone that I don't care about with basically factory settings and perhaps 3 apps. MyGov, Dropbox and something else I can't even …
